Side Effects at the Berlin International Film FestivalFrom The Hollywood Reporter: Steven Soderbergh's Side Effects, a thriller starring Jude Law, Rooney Mara, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Channing Tatum and the action comedy The Necessary Death of Charlie Countryman from commercials director Fredrik Bond will compete this year for the Golden Bear at the Berlin International Film Festival.

Side Effects is Soderberg's fourth film to screen in competition in Berlin -- following The Good German (2006), Solaris (2002) and Traffic (2001). The Oscar-winning director made the trip to the German capital last year with the actioner Haywire, which had an out-of-competition screening. In Side Effects Mara plays a woman who turns to prescription drugs to fight anxiety after her husband (Tatum) is released from prison.
